Cohabitation documentation

Post by focusuk » Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:21 pm

Hi,

I will be applying for ILR next month. I just wanted to know about the supporting documents for cohabitation. I have read on this forum that a min of 2 yrs is required, if one doesnt have for 2 years what are the options?

I also would like to know if we have to show any savings in the account.

Regards,
focusuk

Hi

Please find below a sample list of co-hab docs you can have any of these or if you have some thing apart from these docs then it'll suffice as well. There's no set requirements you can take any docs as co-hab docs.
You dont really have to take 2 years of continous co-hab docs for example you can just show your wife bank statments for the month of Nov 2010 and you can show your utility bill for the month of Feb 2011 any random co-hab docs will do the job. Remember this thing that there's no set requirement by the UKBA for co-hab docs you can provide any documents to prove this.

Wife’s Registration letter with GP dated 2009 & 2010
- Bank Statements on her name since 2009.
- Letter from Home Office (Tier-1 General), 2009
- Registration of NI Letter, 2009
- Voter Registration Letter 2010 & 2012 (our names on it)
- Child Birth Registration Certificate for my UK Born child, both names on it i.e mine and my wife’s name, 2010
- Some NHS/hospital letters on Wife’s name, 2010, 2011 and 2012
- Provisional Driving License Letter 2010
- Driving Theory Test Pass Certificate 2012

Please do kindly share your PEO experience with us on the forum.

Good luck for your and your family ILR.

Further to what Smam advised.

Take all cohabitation document that you have including junk letters that you have in your name and spouse together or on individual names. Do not attempt to do Case worker's job.
Once again don't select any document in-advance for PEO Case Worker, because he/she will capitalise on the missing ones just to frustrate your effort and your application maybe delayed.
In case you don't have enough document that covered the whole of 2 years, write a letter addressed to UKBA to explain the reason why you could not provide the document at hand for that day.

Good luck.

Hi focusuk,

Smam already answered your query and copied cohabitation documents as it is what I shared on one of my post for my wife :). Advice from sufferhead is really very helpful and I will take care of it too.

Good Luck and please share your experience of ILR here. Thanks.
